^^ Corsair Force series is what I'll recommend, I'm not aware of the prices. Sorry.

Corsair Force 3 120GB SSD Review - Corsair's Force Line Hits The 3rd Generation - Legit Reviews, I'm giving Corsair as it has a strong service network in India which OCZ lacks.

The review notes that the Force GT series is ~ 189$, within your budgets limits --

The Force 3 120 GB can be found online for $179.99 and the GT version for just a bit more after mail in rebate at $189.99. Without the rebate, the GT is closer to $204 which make the purchasing decision a little tougher but if you can get in on the rebate, a $10 difference between the two makes it a no-brainer to pick up the GT. Corsair does also package their drive with the 2.5" to 3.5" adapter plate and offers a 3-year warranty so they offer an attractive package.

It seems like yesterday that we got our first SF-2200 drive in our hands and we were amazed by the incredible performance it brought together with the SATA III interface. Right now, SandForce drives are dominating the SSD market. As such, dozens of companies are offering drives that are more or less clones of each other and the SSD landscape is starting to feel a little stale. CES is just around the corner so we may be seeing changes coming, especially with changes in the industry like the purchase of Indilinx by OCZ. Until then, the number of available drives will increase and that should help drop the prices down as long as the price of NAND flash doesn't start to increase. Although the Force 3 series is one of many options out there, it's certainly more prudent to stick with tried and true brand like Corsair rather than gamble on those non-mainstream companies that will likely be out of the SSD business before the warranty ever expires.

The cheapest and lowest Intel 510 drive is 120 GB 279$ (14.5k inr)at amazon. Only Intel seems to have International Warranty :(

Just saw Corsair Force 3 120GB for 9.8k at deltapage. Seems far better price than from US as it has 3 yr Indian warranty.

Corsair sure is cheaper and has great performance for the Sata 6 gbps drives but what about warranty ? :(

Force 3 120 is for 167$ and GT for 175$ at amazon. Really great price considering Intel 512 120 GB is at 280$ and offer far lesser transfer rates.

Also How is this memory deal ?

Amazon.com: Corsair 16 GB Vengeance Blue Low Profile 1600mhz PC3-12800 240-pin Dual Channel DDR3 Memory Kit 16 Dual Channel Kit - CML16GX3M4A1600C9B: Electronics

16GB Vengeance low profile DDR3 1600 for 75$ (3.9k)
 
Its better to hav Corsair with local service centers than with OCZ........ which u'll hav to keep shipping out to US or some SEA countries for service!
 
I let go the ssd from US idea, and ordered Vengeance 16GB low profile and Corsair H80 with some silverstone 120mm fan grills and an N300 USB wifi adapter :)

Also ordered Canon T3i(600D) with 18-135mm IS lens, 50mm f/1.8 II prime, 16GB class 10 card, Camera bag for 1000$. was a superb deal. :clap:
